Om Sri Sai Kirana General Store

Our store is on Sri Ram Nagar Road in the Aliabad area of Hyderabad. It’s a quiet spot compared to the big city markets, but we stay busy with the local families. The address is 18-4-153/23, and it’s just a regular neighborhood kirana shop. I usually start the day by cleaning the front area and checking what we need to restock. We have the usual essentials like milk, eggs, bread, and different types of dals and flours at Om Sri Sai Kirana General Store. People come in their slippers just to pick up one or two things they need for dinner. We know most of the kids who grow up in these streets; they come in for chocolates or a small packet of chips. The shelves are mostly wooden and I’ve painted them a few times over the years. It’s not a fancy place with bright lights, just a few tubes that flicker sometimes. We have a small stool behind the counter where I sit when there are no customers. Aliabad has changed a lot, with more houses coming up, so we see new faces too. I try to keep the shop organized, but with so many small items, it’s a constant task. We don't have a big staff, just me and occasionally a family member helping out. It’s a simple business but it’s important for the people living right on this road. We stay open as long as there are people around.
